Solving for sin(θ),
sin(θ) = √2/2 = 1/√2
We can recognize this as θ = π/4, but we also have a solution in quadrant 2, namely θ = 3π/4.

2sin(x) = √2
sin(x) = (√2) / 2
To find the solutions that satisfy this equation, look at the y-coordinate of the unit circle for (√2) / 2
This occurs when x=pi/4 and x=3pi/4
